health depends largely on the condition of
the liver. This organ is easily affected
because of its sluggish circulation. When
1t becomes disordered, stagnant blood
aceumulates in its yenous system, causing
it to discharge inert or bad bile. Many
forms of disease result from its imperfect
action, which deranges all the digestive
and assimilatiye organs, and, through
these, impairs almost every function of
mind and body. There is no

There was a full meeting of the Colonial
Council on Monday, only one member being
absent. His Excellency the Governor and
the Government Secretary were present. The
new members for Frederiksted Country Dis
trict, Messrs. John Russell, E. Svitzer and
T.. Hewitt took their seats after the usual
preliminaries,
The chief business was the introduction of
the Draft of Budget for 1887-68. The Draft
was introduced by His Excellency the
Governor, who spoke in substance as follows
He had the honour to lay before the Coun-
Gil the Draft of Budget for the financial year
1887-88, and in SO doing would need to make
only a very few remarks, as the Draft differed
very little from that of last year. 1t would be
seen that the estimated revenue was$159.4 7 SO
and the estimated expenditure 3253, OFT ST
leaving a deficit Of 1913, 537. 81. He regretted
that the Budget should again shew a deficit.
1t would, however, be noticed that, as usual,
the amount Of the guarantee to the Share
holders of the, Central Factory was included
in the expenditure, and on this he would
remark, as he had done formerly, that
it was quite evident that this amount
could only be- met from extraordinary
means, quite outside the ordinary means OF
the colony. Still, if this amount were deduct
ed, @there would yet remain a deficit of
$48, 60. The expenses also included the
military expenses and pensions, amounting
to S43, 4O5 Al, and if these expenses were also
deducted there would remain a small surplus
over the remaining expenditure, namely of
@5,172.78.
In regard to the Revenue side of the Bud
get he would remark that the revenues had

ALFALFA.

A correspondent of the Wichita Eagle,
writing from Rocky Ford, Colorado,
some $50 miles west of Garden City on
the same river and railroad. says the far
mers in that vicinity are all hard at work
cutting and curing their alfalfa crop,
which is unusually large He says the
country around that village is on vast al
falfa field and estimates the area at $500
acres. Garden City ought not to allow
any other place in the Arkansas valley to
stand ahead of her in this crop.
In this vicinity the second cutting will
soon begin and the Sentinel reporter yes
terday saw some hay of the first cutting
in stack, that was just the ideal of per-
feet fodder. 1t was green as before it
was cut with all the leaves on in perfect
shape, and reminds our Reporter of green
tea. 1t was in large stack which was
covered with cloth canvas to prevent
damage by rain.-Garden City Sentinel.
Alfalfa is profitable crop, and one
that should be cultivated by our farmers.
We hope to see alfalfa planted generally.

north of town, in forms us that during

family were watching the clouds, a
flock Of wild geese passed near the
house. As he was looking at the vivid
flash Of lighting, which seemed to pass
right through the flock Of geese and the
next moment the focl, seemed to be
thrown into confusion uttering the
shrillest cries Of alarm, and six of their
number were seen falling to the ground
They had been killed by the lightning
fash MIR. Burch had noticed. He went
and pick ed up the dead geese, which he
found to be plump and fat, without a
mark to show where the lightning had
strck them. He had a feast Of roast goose
the next day. This is the first instanceon
record, we believe Of geese being stuck
by lightning while flying, and it is gen

THE WORKINGS OF PROHI.
BITION.

DR.. F. s. McCabe and James A. Trout
man, President and Secretary of the Kan
sas State Temperance Union, have issued
a statement concerning Prohibition in
Kansas, which is intended ia be used in
the campaign in Texas. They do not
seem to believe that the law is failure
here, but on the contrary, are well salts
fed with its workings. They say of it
Without claiming for the Prohibition
law of Kansas perfection in detail and
letter, we maintain that its purposes and
intent are fully in harmony with the
spirit of our free institutions. In its
practical operations the law promotes the
welfare and prosperity of our citizens of
all classes and conditions. especially of
laboring men, and of all men who are
struggling by honest work to maintain
their families and educate their children
The law is efficiently and successfully
enforced. The direct results Of its en-
fOrcement are plain and unmistakable.
We believe that not One-tenth Of the
amount of liquor is now used that was
used before the adoption of the prohibi-
tory law"
One part of their statement reads like
boom article
In connection with other influences, 4"
they say, the contest successfully waged
in this state against the saloon has in
creased our populatlon-it has enlarged
our wealth-and it has powerfully adj
vanced the material, educational and
moral interests of our people The state
of Kansas is far more prosperous to-day
than it has ever been at any former per-
iOd in its history"
1t is undoubtedly true that the fact that
this as a prohibition state has brought a
great many people into it, as it has sent
some out. Cut the people that have come
to us on account of our freedom from sa-
looms are very desirable class of citizens,
while we are we'll rid of those who have
left us on this account.
The falsity of the claim of the liquor
men, that saloons are necessary to the
prosperity of a town, was never so COM
pletely shown as it is in Kansas to-day
There are no open saloons in the state,
and yet there is hardly town in the
state that is not prospecting as towns never
prOspered before,

KANSAS RAILROAD DECIS.
ION.

An important decision was given by
the state board of railroad commission.
ers June 23d. The question decided was
raised by the people of Victoria town
ship Rice county, but is of much more
than local importance. The decision was
the result of depot trouble. The Sail.
ma, Sterling and Ell Paso construction
company secured 800, 600 in bonds from
Rice county, which was voted after the
company had made certain promises, one
of which was to locate depot and side
track at point in Victoria township.
The road was built and turned over to
the Missouri Pacific, but no depot was
located, as promised. The people ap-
pealed to the railroad commissioners, who
after an investigation, decided in favor
of the people, and gave out this general
principle: THAT promises made by a
construction company and obligations as
sumed by them are equally binding upon
any railroad organization to which the
construction company may transfer its
interests" Victoria township will now
have depot facilities.

THE SNOW THEORY.

A few years ago the discussion as to
the source of our rain supply was theme
of wide range in some of the Kansas
newspapers, and especially in those pa
pers praising the beauties and sublim-
tiles of Western Kansas. Some of the
unscientifc gentlemen of the press main
tanned that the rain supply for the Great
American Desert was dependent upon
the snow in the mountains. Other gen.
tlemen of scientific research and acumen,
insisted that our rain was brought over
the southwest ranges from the Gulf, the
detection of the winds on the mountain
tops producing precipitation on the
plains The contact of the warmer
southeast currents with the cold noun.
tain winds produced rainfall. This the.
DRY was held to be the proper one. The
present year will establish the scientific
principle beyond controversy.
Old plainsmen and mountaineers have
held that an abundance of snowfall on
the east slope of the Rocky mountains
would produce an abundance of summer
rains on the plains of Colorado and Kan
sas. When the fall was heaviest on the
east side of the mountains the fall of
snow was lightest on the western slope,
and vice versa. If the fall of snow was
heaviest on the east slope there would be
little rain on the west side of the Rocky
mountains, and if the fall was lightest on
the east slope there would be an album
dance of rain on the western slope of the
rockies. We have watched this course
for the past ten years and the theory"
has held good until this year. There
was light snowfall in the mountains
last winter, but there is an abundance of
rain on the western Kansas plains the
present season, and the Arkansas river is
on continual rage and overlooking.
But there are many conditions that have
produced the probable variance from the
traditional "snow in the mountains the.
DRY. The settlement of the country, the
blowing of the lands, &c, have produced
local rains, and the source Of these rain.
falls become more popular every year, as
the settlement and cultivation advances
and increases.
The watch word should be speed the
pillow. A thorough cultivation of the
soil will make Western Kansas the Eden
of the United States.
Turn the sod should be words sounded
all along the line.
